Garstang Area
Salary:
£40,000 - £50,000 (varying dependent on experience) plus bonus
Our client is a well-respected and long-established distributor of construction supplies / building materials / timber products. Their branch is in the Garstang area and requires a new Assistant Branch Manager. This is a busy site and it needs someone to help keep it going in the right direction. An all-rounder is required, ideally with good stock management skills, buying experience and an understanding of how a well-run branch should function. Most importantly, you must have demonstrable experience in both sales and operations. Basically, the branch's position is sound, but they don't want to be static in terms of market share.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
